Stephan, I'm heartbroken.
So are you saying you disagree with me?
Is this even your fight?
CAN you even fight this fight living where you do?
Personally, for the most part, I stopped caring about other peoples collections a long time ago and have focused on keeping my animals clean, healthy and fed.
You'll find that when push comes to shove, there really is no "community" of reptile enthusiasts, just a bunch of individual keepers who could care less about you and your collection.
Me me me.
You'll see.
Once you've been around longer than 8.4 seconds in this hobby you'll figure that out.
Until then you're speaking on deaf ears and making a general nuisance of yourself with all your vulgarity and bold lettering.

Once the fight comes north of the border (where my voice counts) I'll be on the front lines to defend MY collection. If everyone thought the way I do, LOTS more public outcry would have happened.

So what's your motive here; you don't have a horse in this race, you don't have a voice in this fight, are you just pushing out your chest to show everyone how loud and obnoxious you can be?
You win, we get it.
What's your deal?

USARK has been busting their a$$es trying to do what they can to get these laws voted down. Clearly they didn't have the support of the hobbyists and breeders (who have far more to lose than USARK) behind them.
Serves. Them. Right.
I'm just waiting for the other seven species to be banned as well.

Regarding USARK, they have been great but I don't think they are doing it the right way.
Regarding you... I was going to think up some clever way to tell you off but right now I've got more important "a$$es" to yell at.

Yes I can fight from where I currently stand, and if you thought for more then a second you could figure out how.
I DO have a horse in this race, as I plan on moving to the states next year.
Even if I wasn't I'd still fight, and do you know why? Because I care about more then just ME, I have friends and family who live in the states and I'm willing to fight for more then just MY interests.

Bingo!!!
Knew I'd get to the bottom of this if I asked the right question.
It's all about You You You and keeping your big species when you head south next year.
Ulterior motive uncovered.

Re-post: Ok im sure im annoying some of you by now, but the dynamics keep changing...word from president of VA fish &game is opposition will only be considered via email to district18@senate.Virginia.gov and MUST be received before 5pm TODAY!!!!!!!!!

Small window I know but get those emails out!

Secondly

They are trying to pass an out right bill to ban a few snakes and other reptiles... please Call 804 698 7518 and vote no on bill 477 ...it takes 2 seconds literally

Will0W783 · 01-17-12, 01:53 PM

Mine are out...but there really isn't anything we can do about the Burms, Afrocks and anacondas right? Or is there still a chance?

stephanbakir · 01-17-12, 01:56 PM

We can fight back, Harry Wessles is going to be starting something for that once he clears his head... give him a day or 2.

Will0W783 · 01-17-12, 02:00 PM

Hopefully we can fight it off....I'm a train wreck right now. I had always assumed that when my big boy passed away, I'd get another Burm. They are such wonderful, sweet snakes. To think I'll never be able to have another is just devastating.

BarelyBreathing · 01-17-12, 02:11 PM

Done and done.

Kayla90 · 01-17-12, 02:13 PM

All I can say is that... this is freaking ridiculous. I realize the need for the government, and what they stand for but when you start doing things that affect millions of people and the things they care about with out even taking the minute to learn what you can about them it just makes me sad.

stephanbakir · 01-17-12, 02:15 PM

I know a few people are going to hate this... but.

Under the circumstances, I'll let it slide this time.

theapexgerman · 01-17-12, 02:17 PM

that really hurt since I'm going through the Police academy jk it doesn't bother me

Rogue628 · 01-17-12, 02:18 PM

Could someone please help me word a quick email to this guy? I'm at work and only have a minimum amount of time on the computer. You can PM it to me and I'll check back in a few minutes. My mind is so scattered with the ban and trying to get work done, I'm not thinking clearly....

Thanks for the help!
